Sometimes I feel like flowers are all I share with you. But, I'm totally okay with that. They make me happy and I can't ask for much more than that, right?

Speaking of happiness, this weekend was really special for me: I attended an intimate discussion and book signing at an Anthropologie store in the city with Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project. I read the book about a year and a half ago and was significantly influenced by it. I continue to follow her blog and encourage you to read her book if you aren't yet acquainted. Needless to say, meeting her was awesome and uplifting. I also met and mingled with several other women at the event, with whom I exchanged email addresses. It's always neat to unexpectedly make new friends.

On Sunday, Tiho and I ventured down to the west village to catch up with some friends and enjoy an early afternoon brunch. After eating and drinking too much, we came home and went for a run in the rain, where we encountered three(!) friendly bunnies and a bunch of squawking ducks. I wish the weekend didn't have to end, but it was lovely and fulfilling, so I can't complain. How was yours?

P.S. I updated my Wisdom page (favorite quotes) and thought you might like to see.

I can never get tired of flowers so of course I love these. I know this is weird but the door on the first photograph really stood out to me. The greys and grain are a great backdrop.. And you look so cute in your wellies!

This book sounds pretty cool..wonder if they have it in the library..in the meantime, I'm off to check her blog and your wisdom page :)

I definitely need to read this book asap! I actually like Anthropologie even more now that you've said they had a book signing there.. and such an amazing one at that! I love your weekend photos so much... a billion flowers and all! ;) Also, that door is huge! Hah! I didn't even think anything of it until my second look.

The photos are something else, Kayla. I'm seriously loving them all. And you look so cute in your wellies! You got to meet Gretchen too? Seriously, could a weekend get any better? And mine was lovely, though I didn't get nearly enough work done. Time to get back to that!

Everyone, please please please read the book if you haven't already. I feel like I know you and wouldn't recommend something if I didn't truly think it was worth your time. Thank you for your thoughtful comments, as always!
